O fragrant, fragrant blossom,
My goddess of love,
O deep, dark eyes,
Stunning beauty who conquers me!
O fragrant, fragrant blossom,
My goddess of love,
O deep, dark eyes,
Stunning beauty who conquers me!
Like waves in the wind, my heart drifts away,
Everywhere I look, love spreads all around.
O fragrant, fragrant blossom,
My goddess of love,
O deep, dark eyes,
Stunning beauty who conquers me!
O fragrant, fragrant blossom,
My goddess of love,
O deep, dark eyes,
Stunning beauty who conquers me!
...
Your glance speaks a thousand languages, my love, my love,
Your lips tell a thousand stories, my love.
Your little smile imprisons me, my love, my love,
Your silence burns like fire and kills me, my love.
Oh ho ho, you tease and torture me so sweetly, my love, oh my love,
You poured down like rain upon my heart, my love, hey!
Oh ho ho, isn't love a sweet kind of violence, my love, oh my love?
This isn't how God designed things, my love.
O fragrant, fragrant blossom,
My goddess of love,
O deep, dark eyes,
Stunning beauty who conquers me!
O fragrant, fragrant blossom,
My goddess of love,
O deep, dark eyes,
Stunning beauty who conquers me!
Your poetry tells a thousand lies, my love, my love,
Even knowing that, my heart nods along, my love.
Whenever you walk past, I melt away, my love, my love,
Every second I see you, I blossom, my love.
Oh ho ho, you consumed my nights with dreams, my love, oh my love,
With your love, you have slain me too, my love.
Oh ho ho, defying Newton's laws of gravity, my love, oh my love,
I am floating above the earth, my love, oh ho ho ooh!
O fragrant, fragrant blossom,
My goddess of love,
O deep, dark eyes,
Stunning beauty who conquers me!
O fragrant, fragrant blossom,
My goddess of love,
O deep, dark eyes,
Stunning beauty who conquers me!

Trivia

The opening phrase 'Narumugaiyae' pays homage to classical Tamil romantic literature and Mani Ratnam's iconic song 'Narumugaye' from Iruvar (1997), written by Vairamuthu. In Sundaattam (2013), lyricist Arivumathi revitalizes classic imagery with modern poetic touches.
